Here is what we are hearing from Moms on the Run members about their experience with 361 shoes:"I absolutely love my 361-Stratomic running shoes! I've tried them out on a handful of runs so far and they provide a nice cushy ride whether running 2 or 6 miles! I've been wearing Asics for years and would definitely purchase another pair of 361 shoes next instead!" NicolleSave 20% and get free shipping with a special Moms on the Run offer!

This is a great exercise to activate hip, abdominal, spine and pelvic floor muscles. Add an exhale as you lift and you will also get activation of your diaphragm.

Beginners:Lay on your back with knees bent and arms at your side. Pull belly in toward you spine, squeeze your buttocks and lift you hips until your back is straight but not hyper-extended. Perform 2 sets of 15, three times per week

Advanced:Lay on your back with knees bent and arms at your side. Straighten one leg keeping thighs parallel and knees hip width apart. Pull belly in toward you spine, squeeze your buttocks and lift you hips until your back is straight but not hyper-extended. Keep thighs parallel and knees hip width apart as you lift and lower using the one planted leg. Perform 2 sets of 15, three times per week.
